Running sudo torghost -s return this:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "torghost.py", line 117, in notify2.init("TorGhost") File "notify2.py", line 103, in init File "dist-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 241, in get_object File "dist-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 248, in init File "dist-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 180, in activate_name_owner File "dist-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 278, in start_service_by_name File "dist-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 651, in call_blocking dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files

[NandanDesai]

[Loloman2]

Okay! Thanks!!

git pull this repo, build it and try running it again.

what's the content of torghost.dump file?

[Loloman2]

try running TorGhost multiple times. Tell me if you get that same error all the time

[Loloman2]

Tried it 5 times :(

[NandanDesai]

Ok. For this I need some time. I'll get back to you ASAP

[Loloman2]

Okay :)

Hi. I'm caught up in some other work so won't be able to fix this issue anytime soon. Meanwhile, if you do want this to work, then try using anonsurf which is similar and in fact better than TorGhost! If it does work for you then please let me know here.
